Slaking Query

[Legacy]

I'm slightly confused by Slaking's "Truant" ability which says that it is only able to attack every two turns. Here's the questions:

-Does that mean only physical or special attacks? IE. are you allowed to use status increasing moves like Curse in between the attacks?

-After attacking, are you able to immediately switch to something else before the "truancy" kicks in?

1. No. You move once every two turns. Every other turn, it 'loafs around'.
2. Yes.

lol this is where skill swap comes useful

-You go in a double-battle and "Swap" the truant ability

-If your fighting something with the ability "Trace," use slaking, always XD

-After u swap ur truant ability, swap to one of your opponents pokemon, haha

Slaking can't learn skill swap in dp. So sad...

He was talking about your 2v2 partner swapping it, then giving it to an opponent.
